This is like a sequel to Minnie the Moocher...weird.

@ObiJoe808 And some people seem to have trouble differentiating between personal taste, and actual skill. You may personally be partial to Cab for whatever reason, but neither on a technical level, or on a stylistic level can it rightfully be said that he's any better than MJ, James Brown, Fred Astaire, or any number of other top dancers of the past century.
And as far as Elvis? He may be entertaining but no one considers him to be a serious dancer as compared to the other dancers mentioned

@ObiJoe808 That's actually quite an immature claim to make. It's undoubtedly a biased and emotionally driven claim, as opposed to being logical. No objective person would even "consider" making such a claim.
Cab is undeniably an excellend dancer, but when comparing dancing greats, with different personal styles I might add, it's absolutely impossible to definitively say which one is actually the best. Too much of it comes down to personal taste, and ... Continued in next response.

@JazzyBlues420 , Cab got it from the thousands of talented Black people who entertained all of America in the 1870's to early 1900's. who were forced to perform in black face. it was called the minstrel.most popular form of entertainment in this country from the 1840's. thank God for Mary Pleasants, Rosa Parks, Malcom & all those who struggled for human rights which were denied most black people until 1960's.

HES SO FUCKING AWESOME, IT HAS TO BE SAID. Who cares about the fucking moonwalk, or mj for that matter, this is Cab Calloway. He's a bad ass, enough said. Also I've listed to this six times a day for the last three weeks at least

Cab Calloway is probably better than MJ, because he invented it, so of course after 77 years people are going to get better at it

@ObiJoe808 And everyone says Chuck Berry was the first rock n roll star...
